Inter-university events

To make an even bigger impact, join a collective effort with other education providers and landcare groups. It's a great way to meet like-mided individuals and form new bonds!

Here are some considerations for organising an inter-university tree planting event:

Choose a location that's easily accessible for everyone. This will also ensure easy access for follow-ups and progress checks.

Ensure participants have adequate gloves, hats, tools, water, sunscreen, first aid gear and snacks especially if a hot day is predicted.

Promote the event with local landcare groups for added exposure.

Volunteering days

Host an event with a local nonprofit or community group where students can get a taste of what it's like to volunteer.

Here are some considerations for organising a volunteering day:

As it's an off campus event, the safety of students must be foremost.

Plan events that will make an emotional impact on students and encourage them to continue volunteering into the future.

Working together with nonprofits, community groups, and other universities is a great way to pool resources and be able to undertake larger projects and increase exposure.
